Deep dives
Understanding the Doctrine of Atonement
The doctrine of atonement is fundamentally about how Jesus addresses humanity's sin to restore unity with God. It emphasizes that sin separates individuals from God, and the atonement provides a pathway to reconciliation, encapsulated in the idea of becoming 'at-one' with God. Central to this doctrine is the significance of Jesus' death, but it also challenges listeners to consider the broader narrative of Christ's work, including his life, incarnation, resurrection, and ascension. Understanding atonement in this comprehensive way allows a deeper appreciation of the complexities involved in Christ's sacrifice and its implications for believers.
